Rooting you won't lose any data. To unroot you always can flash your firmware again using odin. :good:

No you don't if you don't do a factory reset, but to root you just need to flash a .zip using recovery, it's easy.
I rooted my s advance, unrooted and all ok.Thank you very much.

You must relock bootloader and flash original recovery.img
You can find both in this forum

I did it by flashing stock recovery. The bootloader can be unlocked.
I also removed the root binary(you have the option in super su - full unroot). Then I reflashed twrp.
Good luck.
Hello,
Sorry for the noob question, but I was wondering on how to keep root through this update. Do I just take the update? Or do I have to wait for another root from chainfire for the new update?
Thanks

If you try to take the ota while rooted it will fail so you can either unroot and do the ota and then reroot or if you have twrp theres a stock rooted rom in the development section you can flash on top of your stock rom that works just fine
Is this possible or do I need Odin on PC to flash the stuff?
I'm new to rooting.

You will need to downgrade to nce if possible, download towel root then flash back up to 4.4.4. There is a thread in here on how to do it but i can't remember what it's called
I'm sorry the question was incomplete. I meant to say is this possible from just the phone or do I need odin on a PCto flash
Yes search for flash fire , you will findthe thread you're looking for
Hi guys I have the latest firmware installed ( see screenshot) whenever I try to obtain root via chain fires autoroot or through custom kernel for n9208 my phone gets stuck at bootloader. Is there any way to fix this.
Ps the crom services app always force closes . And I followed every step on root tutorials
Hi, i got same problem with new firmware update, lost my root and tried to root again with chainfire autoroot, but didnt work, tried a couple of times...no luck, at this step i still can boot android, then tried flash xiaolu kernel...at this step i got boot loop, both space kernel also failed to boot, so if you havent flash any kernel with odin, you still can boot after flashing twrp recovery, but if you already messed with kernel, there no way to to fix it...better flassh new firmware, and use stock until someone can find a way to root 5.1.1, hope its help...

Isn't there a way we can simply downgrade to the last rootable firmware?
if you're on the latest firmware, i recall having to install the AOK2 bootloader to root my N9208 using the original root methods (not the Systemlesss Root method). check the TWRP thread for details. The situation may have changed, but when i upgraded my firmware to AOL1, i had to downgrade the bootloader to AOK2 to regain root.

How did you downgraded your boot loader? I am sorry but I'm really new to galaxy development.
PS is it safe to flash a firmware from December over my current version which is from march

check the TWRP thread for details and links to downgrade the bootloader. please note/remember, i downgraded from AOL1 to AOK2. not sure if this works with any firmware newer than AOL1. in my case, i reflashed the AOL1 firmware, then downgraded/flashed the AOK2 bootloader and then rooted using the original 9208 root method.
